Excellent value, particularly as I bought it as part ...
November 19, 2015
Excellent value, particularly as I bought it as part of the bundle with the 16-55 and the 55-230 for barely over $ 400. A vastly underrated camera.
How the heck did Fuji do all this for $399?
October 1, 2015
It is about three weeks before my daughter's 13th birthday and this ridiculously low priced Amazon sale comes up on Fuji Rumors for two kit lenses and the blue toned X-A1 body that seemed to be too good to pass up . I justified that this would be my gift to her. After all, when I turned 13, I was given a meterless Honeywell Pentax H1a Spotmatic with a 55/1.8 Super Takumar.that I carried everywhere and learned how to meter, focus, compose, develop and print from by eye. Time sure has changed cameras, with amazing automation, image quality, for prices that are even lower than they were in 1970's dollars. By now, I have more than enough cameras, lenses, and lights and THIS Dad doesn't need another camera system (sob!). It was only 10 months ago in January when I got my first Fuji mirrorless camera and fell in love with the feel of the camera (please see my review of the X30: Fujifilm X30 12 MP Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black)). As I look at the X-A1, I will make a lot of comparisons between this camera and the X30 which come at similar price points but, as I discovered, both cameras have made different design compromises to remain competitively priced.A lot is made of the fact that the x-trans sensor is lacking an AA filter and I thought: Why would ANYONE buy the X-A1 with a "standard" Bayer 16MP sensor when the whole point of the Fuji X series is to gain sharpness without it? Well, it's about $100 less, and the sensor is a Sony 16MP, same as those used in the D7000, NEX6, and A57, the most latter of which I bought four of for use in multi-cam video. Yup, still too many cameras. And, wait, the X-A1 has no EVF, but a tilting LCD, how can I shoot without bringing it to my eye??!! Well, heck, Hasselblad shooters have been shooting handheld that way for decades! When handling this camera I found waistlevel to be the most stable handheld position, with one hand cradling the lens, the other over the top of the trigger working the menus. This lightweight camera really does shine at waist level and in fact the screen has a fair amount of tilt-able positions, albeit only vertically, is easy to get used to even to use the camera in manual focus. It's great that the Fuji engineers made a rangefinder without an OVF or EVF, but made sure the rear LCD screen would be more flexible. I can't say the same about small form APS-C CSC's from Pana, Canon, or Nikon for that matter..Sony,Samsung and Fuji being the noted exceptions. It's a huge advantage over smartphone cameras too!Despite that I wanted my daughter to open it up fresh, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and carefully took it out to charge the battery and insert an SD card, and mounted the 50-230mm zoom lens to try to test it out on some leaves right off my porch. If there's one thing I've learned about the X30 is that you don't want to push that camera beyond ISO 800 unless you plan to work out the detail and DR in the RAW file, The sharpness at the short end of the 50-230mm zoom was really, really good corner to corner as well as the IQ of the sensor, which I expected. Everything in focus just pops! I figured I'd do a side by side between the two Fuji's (X30 images, on left) using manual focus peaking, and boy, was I surprised! If you look at the leaves in focus on the LCD screen, you can really see just how sharp this lens is. The X30 is just as sharp, but the smaller sensor means that it is less sensitive (more prone to noise at moderate ISO settings, the smaller 2/3" 12MP resolution sensor is slightly lacking over the APS-C and the DOF at equivalent 112mm f2.0 is about the same as the 50-230 lens at 127mm/5.8. Firing both cameras at 1/200s it became obvious that the same level of noise could be seen at ISO 800 and ISO 3200. respectively, The X-A1 with the 55-230mm kit lens was just as sharp and moderate grain at ISO3200 as my X30's built-in lens at ISO800, both lenses wide open (ignoring the actual aperture readings for now) with IS on both cameras. You can see the leaves are just as sharp and the out of focus areas are pleasingly soft. The major difference is that the X30 can fire a flash up to 1/2000s with little problem, while the X-A1 tops out flash use at 1/180s. For outdoor photography, esp. with the onboard flash, this could be a deal killer, but you won't see better quality images from a leaf shutter Fuji mirrorless until you go X100T or a used X100s, both of which are easily double the price.About an hour later, I finally buckled and tried out the 16-50mm kit lens and it was sharp at macro ranges, wide open, though the minimum focus distance is a good deal longer than 0.1m from the focal plane than the on screen markings would suggest (I would guess about .25m at a minimum), compared with the X30 which isn't afraid to get closer than 0.1m in macro mode, and even closer still in the X30's super macro mode. I shot each camera with the other at their widest apertures and focal length to compare.OK, enough of the pixel peeping.The camera FP shutter is nice and quietly damped, not as quiet as the X30's leaf shutter, which is near silent and the flash is easily bounced by gently hooking your finger under the spring loaded arm and tilting it backward, very cool! I did notice that, unlike the X30, the video record button cannot be remapped, which would have been useful, but that the top panel dial is completely mapped to shutter, leaving the scroll wheel for aperture. I really didn't miss the X30's dedicated exposure compensation dial which is almost useless in Manual, the way I shoot, when it would be much nicer to custom set to flash exposure compensation from there, which I would use and tweak much more often. The X-A1 will let you only customize the Fn (Function) button and requires you to dive into the Q menu to make most other adjustments, but I get the feeling I'd just set the flash to full power all the time or commander mode anyway and bounce that bad boy to the ceiling. I did like that the macro, AF lock, and White Balance were still accessible from the 5-point buttons, but I missed being able to remap the focus point location to those buttons, It can still be moved easily enough, but not without some menu diving first. I will say that for a camera with a flash hotshoe, the XA-1 does not appear to offer the option to turn the settings effect off so manual focusing in dark conditions can be a bit challenging, but when you get it right, you're rewarded with incredible sharpness and a very pleasing high ISO capability.In thinking about outfitting for most new photographers, I'd recommend getting a detachable wrist strap and a screen protector (the X-M1 size is the same), and a couple of 58mm UV filters. If your camera pouch does not have webbing, I'd also recommend getting a tethered 58mm pinch lens cap so that whether you are shooting with the 16-50 or 50-230, you always have it with you. As much as I like the supplied lens caps and hoods, I would worry that they'd fall off or get left behind at some scenic vista. As far as bags go, it really depends on how you shoot and whether you'd carry both lenses or just one. Even with the 16-50 it's not all that compact for a pouch like the Tamrac 5294Tamrac 5294024 T94 Bag (Red). I'd probably opt for a small messenger style bag instead, so you can carry the 50-230 lens, a microfiber cloth, and maybe a spare battery.This camera is the real deal and the X-A1 2 lens bundle is a great camera system, period, for starters and experienced shooters. I have to say, if you get the Fuji button layout, you'll feel right at home. Compared to the X30, there are less buttons in general (and only one to customize) and more has to be done from the menus to change settings, but really, once you get certain settings the way you want them you won't need to menu dive as much. I'll buy it again for myself in a heartbeat!
I love this camera and its picture quality
August 25, 2015
I love this camera and its picture quality. I bought as a bundle with 2 lenses and I do not regret it. Just please be aware that it doesn't contain a focus lense just a digital screen. I think not having that focus screen is the only disadvantage of it. For a sunny day its really hard to see through the screen. The overall I would recommended to anyone who is entering the photography world. It's generally easy to use.
Great photos, incredible sensor even though its not X-trans. Great low light performance.
January 11, 2015
I'm having a blast with this camera. The sharpness of the photos, even from the kit lens is incredible. Noise reduction is a little heavy for my taste, even when set to -2, and there appears to be no way to completely shut off noise reduction. This is my only complaint.I was worried that focusing and framing with a LCD and no view finder would be a problem, but it actually lets me take photos in a less obtrusive and obvious way, as I can tilt the LCD and look down and snap a photo while talking to someone casually for more candid shots at parties and other venues where I'm trying to take candids and keep people in their natural pose.I find the camera much less obtrusive than my Nikon D90 SLR, which I absolutely love. The quality of the photos from this camera are absolutely excellent, even in extremely low light, with next to no noise or distortion.One more slight negative note that I've found, is that I've experienced some yellow chroma blotches, similar to the so called, "panny blobs" I used to get from my panasonic LX series in low light/high iso environments. Not sure why this happens and, unlike my old panasonic, I can't find an algorythym online to remove them in the post process. If anyone knows how to do this or what's going on and can offer me a tip, please reply or post for me. Otherwise, this thing is a real gem.I've rented a Leica M to do low light and street photography, and with the right lenses this thing is nearly as good photo-quality wise at a great fraction of the cost. Incredible camera at a dirt cheap price.
Totally happy with my Fujifilm X-A1
May 31, 2014
I am an enthusiastic photographer, I love taking pics and this is the camera I have been waiting. This is my first advanced camera, I used to have a Lumix FZ40 and the difference in image quality is huge, this is a really good camera. I have compared the pics with some friends who have canon or Nikon 5100 cameras and they are impressed with the quality of my Fuji. The images with high ISO are really good. I just can stop loving my camera every time I use it.There are some things I don't like since it cant be perfect:- No viewfinder- Expensive lenses- Cant use the effect when in manual modeI would totally recommend this camera
Awesome picture quality!
April 16, 2014
I was in the market for a DSLR and as I researched, changed my mind and purchased this mirrorless camera. It has the largest photo sensor for it's cost range, is portable, and very user-friendly. While I have the option of changing lenses and adjusting the manual settings as needed, the auto settings have been so precise that I've only used the manual settings when I have time to play with it. I have a three-year old and often just want to capture a moment well before the moment is over---this camera does just that and with great image quality! It has fantastic recovery speed as well, so I can shoot continuously even if I don't want to choose the continuous setting. I highly recommend this camera for those who want the features of a DSLR, but need to be able to get their photos taken quickly-i.e. parents of young, quick-moving children.

I am planning a long trip in which I am trying to minimize everything I am bringing along and I can't get over how perfect this little case is for my camera set up
September 26, 2017
I currently own a Sony A7RII w/ the Zeiss Batis 18mm 2.8 Wide angle lens.I am planning a long trip in which I am trying to minimize everything I am bringing along and I can't get over how perfect this little case is for my camera set up. It fits snug with the lens hood on backwards, no movement whatsoever and is about 33% smaller than the current bag I was using. Throw in that this is at the fraction of the cost - this is the bag i was looking for! Absolutely perfect for someone with a similar camera set up looking to make everything as small as possible for travel!
A good choice for compact point-and-shoot cameras
July 17, 2017
Just received, but it is well constructed and it looks like it will last 10 or 20 years. I can't find any reason to give it less than 5 stars. I will reduce my rating if something happens to change that.I have a compact point-and-shoot camera, not a DSLR, but the cases made for compact point-and-shoots don't give you much storage space. I want everything except my tripod in one package - camera, spare cards and batteries, cables, chargers, tripod quick-release plate, lens cloth, and the case's shoulder strap. This does the trick nicely, with a little room to spare. It could probably even hold a small hardcopy user's manual for the camera, if I had one. I will keep the camera in the small inside pocket to protect it from scratching by the rest.
Great fit for my Canon Rebel T3 with standard 18-55 mm lens
September 7, 2016
I LOVE THIS CASE! I've been wanting a smaller case that just fits my DSLR and my standard 18-55mm lens. This case was perfect! I took it with me for 4 weeks of international travel, followed by a week long backpacking trip through the Grand Canyon. Not only did it protect my camera, but the quality of the case is so great that it still looks brand new even after all of the abuse it suffered through my traveling. It was the perfect size and fit my camera snugly, but I was able to tuck the strap inside the top as well as some other small items (credit card, money, etc) in the top pocket inside of the case to protect them from theft. The side pockets are also a great size and were able to fit various other small items like my chapstick, extra battery, and SD card wallet. The strap was long enough that I could use it cross-body, or shorten it to just wear over my shoulder. I could also fit in inside of my small drawstring backpack when I didn't want to openly carry it. The zippers have nice rubber pulls on them, and the case is well padded on the inside. I don't think it would fit anything larger than the 18-55 mm lens very well, as it was a very snug fit for my Canon Rebel T3 with that lens attached. However, it was exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Yes! Finally a case that fits :-)
August 8, 2015
Haven't taken this thing out yet, but so far I really like it! My Cannon camera fits in it perfectly even with the big lens and the side pockets have room for my battery charger. Seems pretty durable. I love that the strap is long enough to wear cross body. Great product, great price! Would recommend.
Great little camera bag that goes anywhere and everywhere with me.
May 2, 2015
This review is for Case Logic DCB-304 Compact System/Hybrid...This smaller camera bag was just what I needed for my new Canon camera. It's a smaller version of a DSLR and didn't need too much case but it does have a long lens so I needed something that would fit it. This one loads easily from the top. The side pockets are on both sides and hold my batteries, charger and memory cards. I have carried for almost a year. Amazon deleted my original review.I like this case and carry it weekly. I bought it for vacation and never stopped using it. It's durable. Still looks new. The only I did was add my own wider strap with padding. But considering you won't be able to get it filled too heavy, the strap included is satisfactory.**I paid full price for this item.
This case fits the FZ200; this case doesn't fit the FZ200
December 31, 2013
I wanted the minimum case to safely hold my FZ200 and "necessities". Like you, I read the reviews. As you have seen from the various reviews this case ranges from "perfect for the camera" to "this case is too small for the camera". I took a chance. I am glad I did. The case is perfect for the FZ200. Rather than stopping here, I will tell you exactly how and what can be fit into the case.1) take the hood off the camera, reverse it, and put it back over the lens.2) Open the main compartment of the case. Holding the camera in your right hand, place it other end down with top of the camera toward the padded divider and the back toward the side. The strap gently gets balled up on top of the lens.3) Behind the padded divider and to the lens end of the case, you can put a spare battery (or two if you have them). You can also fit other thin accessories, pad of paper, pen, credit card, id, money, etc)4) In the side pocket toward the back of the camera you can fit the battery charger.5) In the other side pocket, you can fit some creative filers and a lens cloth.6) In the top zippered compartment you can fit a spare SD card and a usb memory card readerI am not sure about you, but that is pretty much all that I would generally want/need with me on most outings or trips.You can obviously perform a number of alternate uses of the various storage areas but I just fully described what I did for demonstration purposes.If I need a tripod, that would certainly not fit in any case I would consider. Thus, I purchased a tripod with its own case. In that case, I store my remote shutter release with the tripod. I would not likely use a shutter release without a tripod so this makes sense to me.The only other accessories I would likely consider are an external flash and microphone. For me, they would be used in special cases. To handle them, I would use a fanny pack. I would see this as an exception to general usage.Thus the complete package would be in three small containers. I will always grab the camera case and grab one or both of the others as the situation warrants.Bottom line --The case definitely works for the FZ200 (and probably any of the other popular small bridge cameras with a large zoom lens.It meets my needs: The smallest case to hold my FZ200 and commonly needed items.

Fuji X -A1 review.
June 3, 2015
Outstanding IQ.I couldn't ask for more in this camera in this price range...or even higher. Very pleased.
it takes great photos. With a thumb grip
July 29, 2014
Even though I ultimately returned it due to some issues the camera had, it takes great photos. With a thumb grip, it's actually quite easy to hold. The downside, in my opinion, is the cost of other Fujifilm lenses.
Excellent camera with 1 flaw. (maybe it was a defective lens)
July 3, 2014
Nice camera for the price. The swivel screen is a plus. I am a tall guy, so getting shots low to the ground are a little hard on my knees sometimes. This helped alot. Picture quality is excellent, build quality is ok. The lens feels a little cheap and plasticky but sturdy enough. I ended up returning it because the lens made a weird "click" just before the 50mm zoom range. Ive owned many lenses and never ran into that issue before. I own too many cameras already so i didnt ask for a replacement. But i would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a decent SLR replacement or travel camera. Very small and easy to carry. I really liked it. Maybe i will give this camera another look if and when Fuji updates the model.
Excellent entry level camera with few quirks.
May 26, 2014
I own an X M1 and a Sony NEX 5T. I used to have Olympus PEN PM2, Canon T3i and Nikon D5200. Compared to all these cameras, I must say X M1 and X A1 are a joy to use. And Image quality(NOT talking about resolution) of the Fujis is the best among all. Although resolution is lower than D5200, there seems to be good levels of finer details. The X A1 is one of the cheapest APS-C format cameras yet produces some of the best images in it's category. It is the cheapest camera yet produces best images for any camera under $1000, just like X M1 does.The Fuji 16-50 kit lens is sharp! Forget about using legacy Leica, Zeiss etc. lenses. you can get similar sharpness from this kit lens and as a bonus, you don't have to fiddle with focus peaking to focus manually. The only reason to get prime lenses is, if you absolutely have to have faster apertures. I find no problems using kit lens with slower apertures while zoomed in, because the camera is capable of producing excellent details up to ISO 3200. No other brand camera comes close to Fujifilm X-series cameras. Even though X A1 do not have X-trans array, it's high ISOs up to 6400 are very similar to X M1, IMO.Fujifilm's proprietary "Q" button is amazing, every camera manufacturer should copy it. You can access every menu setting on one single page, so that you can review the vital settings or change them as needed.Fujifilm's OOC(out of cam) jpegs are the best in business. There's almost no difference between RAW and OOC jpegs. With that being said, I found these settings to deliver best this camera can do.NR: -2 (even at "0", NR is way too aggressive and robbing some finer details. I like to keep it at -2).Color: +1 (If shooting in STD film mode)Sharpness: +1DR: I keep it to 100 most times. Few times, I use DR 400, if you feel the need to produce more details in shadows. You could no longer use ISOs lower than 800, if you choose DR 400. If the light is low and you cannot choose ISO below 800, then just choose DR 400.Shadows and highlights: +2Some cons according to me:My X A1 tends to overexpose most shots. I don't know if I have defective piece but I have to set exposure (-2/3) at all times to get "normal" exposure. Another issue, to me is that, the jpeg files have aggressive amounts of NR by default and setting the NR to (-2) is not improving anything significantly. IMO, NR is too much that it's robbing some finer details. Unacceptable. IMO, this NR issue is the same with all Fuji X-series cameras.I have owned 2 Fuji X-series cameras (X A1 and X M1) and used another 2 (X-E1 and X 100S). And all these cameras have at least 1 stuck pixel visible at all times at ISOs below 800. Even at ISO 200! These stuck pixels are not visible at ISOs greater than 800. I tried sensor cleaning in camera to rid of the issue but NO luck. With X-trans cameras, the stuck pixels is NOT removed even if I shoot RAW and load files onto LR5 and Photoninja. However, X A1's stuck pixel is removed automatically when I load RAW files on LR5. Fuji needs to incorporate sensor mapping like Sony and Olympus have been doing. Pixel mapping is very simple program that can be included into camera menus. Olympus has been doing it for so many years and I don't see why other companies shouldn't do that. Something so simple like that can save consumers from returning the cameras to dealers for something so minuscule as stuck pixels.
Best value yet in a point and shoot digicam with manual override
May 12, 2014
It's all about the image quality. The Fuji X-A1 and 16-50 kit zoom is such a good value I almost feel guilty giving it four stars rather than five. But it's also the only camera I've ever felt lukewarm enough about for the first week that I nearly boxed it up and returned it several times. In the end, after a month, we got along just fine. The quality of the in-camera JPEGs has freed me from the tedious chore of having to tweak every raw file to suit my preferences. It's very nearly the perfect travel camera for folks who don't want to be burdened by a heavy, bulky and pricey dSLR kit.I wanted something to supplement - not replace - my Nikon V1, which remains my favorite camera for candid snapshots ranging from street photography to snaps of family and friends. The Nikon V1 is very quick with AF that can match most dSLRs, but lacks the high ISO image quality of an APS sensor camera. The Fuji X-A1 fills that niche nicely. The Fuji can't quite match the Nikon V1 for quick AF, shutter response and an uncluttered top panel, but the IQ is superb. And the Fuji's physical design overall is more sensible than Nikon's earliest efforts in the 1 System (the notoriously poor rear panel controls of the J1 and V1).Basically, Fuji packed all of their image quality into a box that's as inexpensively made as possible without being junk. The X-A1 and 16-50 kit zoom do feel plasticky, but not cheap or flimsy. And the quality of the photos makes up the difference. Not having to re-edit every photo from the raw files makes using the Fuji a real pleasure.==Best features, strengths, pros:==--All the image quality of an APS/DX sensor for the price of a high end tiny sensor P&S digicam, and less money than most entry level dSLR/kit zoom combos.--Fits in my smallest waist pack, the Lowepro Off Trail. My aching back and neck really appreciate not lugging my dSLR kit around.--The image quality. Yes, it's as good as the hype. After more than a decade with digital this is the first camera I've used that consistently produces top quality JPEGs that don't disappoint. Fuji has managed to capture the spirit, if not quite the accuracy, of their classic films. In more than 1,000 photos during the first month I found only a handful that might have been improved working from the raw files in Lightroom, Silkypix or Photo Ninja.Fuji aims to flatter and please with the digital emulations of Provia, Velvia and Astia. Skin tones look great for folks of every skin color I've photographed the past month. The overall color balance is very slightly warm compared with the slightly cool bias of my Nikons.The b&w emulation is reminiscent of Fuji's own Neopan, or virtually grainless films like Kodak's T-Max 100 and Ilford's XP2 Super C-41 process monochrome film. Don't look for the grit of Tri-X pushed in Rodinal. Fuji aims for a classic tonal range and conventional contrast. This is where a computer based raw converter or other supplemental editor comes in, whether you like Lightroom, DxO Filmpack or the Nik suite.--In-camera raw converter. Along with the overall IQ, the in-camera raw converter greatly reduces any need for computer based raw converters. The camera quickly and easily handles a variety of color and b&w looks. Unless you need higher bit depth TIFFs to avoid posterizing in heavily saturated blue skies, sunsets or other brilliant colors that may be re-edited in post, the in-camera raw-to-JPEG converter should handle most scenarios.Fuji's in-camera raw converter is so good, and so quick, I wish they'd issue it as a free computer-based option similar to Nikon's ViewNX2, which nicely emulates Nikon's in-camera raw-to-JPEG conversions, but adds the option to convert to TIFF and to try a few additional adjustments, while keeping the software quick and simple.--Very good optics despite the plasticky feeling lens. It's sharp enough even wide open for most situations throughout the focal range. Distortion and chromatic aberration are generally well corrected.--Stabilization works very well in the 16-50 kit zoom, comparable to any VR Nikkor I've tried in this price class. Really helps for folks who'd rather not lug a tripod.--Full manual exposure control available.--Tilt screen is very handy for horizontal/landscape orientation photos. When used at waist level or lower, it also helps with physically stabilizing the camera to minimize blur from camera shake.--Scrolling through photos on the camera is incredibly quick, much quicker than my Nikon V1. I only wish Fuji would add the more sensible options of the Ricoh GRD4, which easily enables selecting groups or ranges of photos to be deleted.--Battery life seems okay, but it's hard to be sure. I've been so enraptured by the in-camera raw conversion options that I tend to get only 100 or so photos per charge. But I'm burning up a lot of juice chimping and admiring the photos on the rear screen.==Drawbacks, weaknesses, cons:==--The single most infuriating quirk is the dreadful placement of the delete button on the top of the rear control paddle/cursor up key, sharing the same controller with the AF switch. This is right beneath the thumb rest area - ergonomically a disaster waiting to happen. What were Fuji thinking? Delete buttons should always be single purpose, recessed and well away from the normal range of motion of the thumb or forefinger. So far I haven't inadvertently deleted any important photos, but I'm keeping a copy of an image rescue utility handy.--Laggy, stuttery screen in anything less than bright light. I'm spoiled by the Nikon V1's rear screen and EVF, which are nearly as good as looking through an optical viewfinder. The Fuji X-A1 never lets you forget you're looking *at* a view screen, rather than offering a transparent window on the world. But, to be fair, I grew accustomed to it within a month and find it less annoying than I did the first week.--Some combinations of button presses are non-intuitive, particularly with in-camera raw conversions. It would be nice to be able to reassign buttons to suit the user's preferences. Or just copy Ricoh, which generally has the most sensible ergonomics.--At 16mm uncorrected raw photos from the kit zoom show near-fisheye distortion. There's also some waveform/"mustache" distortion along the edges. Most of this is corrected internally with in-camera JPEGs, and by lens profiles in Lightroom, the supplied raw converter (a variation of Silkypix 3), Photo Ninja and other software. But even stopped down some edge and corner softness is unavoidable when correcting this much distortion.--With the 16-50 kit zoom the camera feels a bit awkward overall. I'll probably add a stick-on Flipbac rubber finger grip, which greatly improved the handling of my Nikon V1. Folks who've used the 27/2.8 pancake prime say it's a better combination, especially for one-handed carry.--Autofocus is adequately quick and responsive in good lighting but will struggle a bit in EV 5 or dimmer light (average household room lighting at night or dimmer). Face recognition and focus tracking are not quite a match for my Nikon V1.--Focus peaking in manual focus mode is less useful than I'd anticipated, especially for deliberately composed low light photos. However it works best when combined with the Fn button to quickly lock focus, which the user can then adjust as needed. I find it handier for selective focusing in crowds than for twilight landscapes.--While full manual exposure control is available it isn't intuitive, and isn't aided by the non-standard controls. The rear sub-command dial is less intuitive than a front mounted dial, for folks transitioning from a dSLR (or the well designed Ricoh GR, GRD or GX models). ISO adjustments require a trip through the menus or Q-menu.--So-so flash. Balanced ambient light/auto flash isn't quite as consistent and satisfying as the Ricoh GRD4 or Nikon V1 with SB-N5 flash. No completely manual flash. And despite the height the pop-up flash is still partially blocked by the kit zoom's hood. But I got the X-A1 for available light so flash won't often be an issue. And it will work with my Nikon SB-800 flash on or off camera with the SC-29 cord, in non-TTL auto or manual modes.--The shutter release button isn't quite as nice as the Nikon V1. The first stage takeup requires more effort and it's too easy to follow through to the second stage and trip the shutter. I'd rather have a lighter first stage takeup spring pressure on the X-A1, which is generally used for prefocusing and locking exposure (unless you choose other options via the menu).--The rear screen is very good but not great. Resolution is very good but it's not quite as crisp and clear in daylight as Sony's outstanding White Magic screen (also available on the Ricoh GR and GRD4). However that White Magic screen is probably what contributed to the Ricoh GRD4's high price, and Fuji is aiming the X-A1 to take market share from the teensy sensor and bridge camera market.--The strap lugs look and feel like cheap stamped metal. I'm not sure I'll be comfortable carrying this one-handed like I do my Nikon V1, via a wrist strap.--The tripod socket probably shouldn't be subjected to very much stress, such as by supporting a long, heavy lens with the camera mounted on a tripod. And don't crank the tripod mount too tightly.--As with many digital cameras, reds can be hypersaturated, even with global saturation reduced for in-camera JPEGs. For some photos of brilliant red flowers and fabrics I've had to pull back the red slider a bit in Lightroom. Fortunately the X-A1 JPEGs hold up well enough to these adjustments. This gamut problem may be confined to sRGB and not a problem with professional printing.--The included raw conversion software on CD, a version of Silkypix 3, is adequate but feels awkward compared with Lightroom. Unfortunately Adobe didn't include native support for Fuji RAFs until version 5, so I'll need to either upgrade from LR4 or continue using Adobe's RAF-to-DNG converter. However, so far I've been very satisfied with the X-A1 JPEGs and don't expect to need to tweak many raw files. That makes the camera a real pleasure to use.
Addictively good IQ in a camera that is uncomfortable to carry around
November 14, 2013
First with the good stuff. This camera will give you colors that are as addictive as a morning coffee. If you want to keep your other cameras do not try this one! If you want to keep using your raw converter do not try this one! There will nothing to improve over a default jpeg. Exposure is spot on and easy to change with a dedicated wheel. Auto white balance is very good and on the warm side indoors. If you look at a pixel level details you will see that it's much closer to other 16mb sensors, but overall picture is very good and colors are just magical.Now with the bad. Focus is pretty unreliable and in video tends to hunt constantly. Do not buy it if you want to shoot a video of your loved ones walking around, only if they are static or you are filming from afar. But the main one and the reason for one star downgrade is a non existent grip. I am not sure what other reviewers mean when they say the camera is light. It is pretty heavy with the kit lens. Now, there are DSLRs that are much heavier, but they all have anatomically correct grips. There is no grip here, just a heavy, unbalanced brick of a camera. I am not sure what fuji engineers were thinking of, why they could not add an extra inch of grip, it's not like the camera is close to being pocketable. If you want to look at best in this regard look at sony nex series, especially nex-5 or ricoh gr. fuji must be the worst here.So, here you are, addictively good IQ, even on full auto in a camera that is very uncomfortable to carry around.

Very nice quality
July 25, 2017
Just like it's big brother, this little camera case is really sturdy, but light weight. I have my Canon DSLR, with the 28-52 zoom lens attached, in the main part of the little case; It fits snugly but perfectly, not squished. I have a set of filters in one of the side pockets and a couple batteries and extra card in the other. I put the whole camera case inside my look alike, larger bag. Since it zips around the top, I can get the camera in and out without any problem at all. When I want to just carry the camera and few accessories, I pull it out and I'm off. I don't know how I ever got along without it. If you love your DSLR but hate carrying a camera bag (of any size), this little CASE is the perfect thing for you.
Great for small camera
March 6, 2017
This is a very nice little camera bag for small size cameras. ( approximately 7-8 inches in diameter and about 6 inches tall) It has a shoulder strap as well as a hand held on the top of the bag. Very nicely padded all around and on the inside as well. My small camera is well protected inside this and I am very pleased that I purchased it.
Great Camera Case.
March 4, 2017
It looks like it will be perfect for my Nikon Coolpix L340. The cushioning seems adequate and the camera fits in snugly but with room for accessories.
Very good case BUT NOT for the Nikon P900 with which it is bundled!
March 20, 2016
The Case Logic DCB-304 case was sold by Amazon as part of a bundle with the Nikon P900 camera. This case is too small for the camera with which it is bundled. According to both manufacturers, the sizes are: Case Logic DCB-304 case is 5.1" x 5.8" x 3.3". Nikon P900 is 5.5" x 6.0" x 4.0". I ordered the bundle and the camera does not even come close to fitting. I verified the manufacturer's dimensions. The Case Logic DCB-304 is too small for the Nikon P900. Please note: There is nothing wrong with this case. It is a very nice and well-constructed case. But it should not be ordered bundled with the Nikon P900 if your intention is to use it for the Nikon P900. The correctly sized Case Logic case for the Nikon P900 is the DCB-306 which will hold cameras (or other devices) that are 5.7" x 6.25" x 4.7". Amazon is refunding the cost of the Case Logic DCB-304 and I am returning it, then ordering the DCB-306. Amazon, as usual, responds quickly and efficiently to customer problems. I am certain that they will also fix the listing for the bundle. In fact, the listing is not currently available on the Amazon website so it is likely being revised.
Tight fit but great for light weight camera carry
August 24, 2015
I took a gamble getting this case because their was no information on its size and I did not know if m camera would fit. Lucky, my Sony Alpha A3000 which is an ILC camera or also referred to as a mirror less SLR roughly about the same size as my other regular SLR cameras. This case is a tight fit but it does comfortably fit camera, filters, charger, along with 18 to 55 mm standard zoom lense. For keeping lightweight on the go, this case is a good inexpensive choice. However, there is no room for additional accessories or any additional lenses. Don't expect to bring your telephoto lenses here. For portrait shots on the go, this case is a great buy. You can tightly but comfortablefit camera and one smaller size lense choice and a few basics such as filters, extra battery, memory cards, etc. The case has a small wallet sized zipper pocket on each side for small accessories and a small zipper area off the main compartment for memory cards. The main center compartment itself is a snug fit for fully assembled camera with lense attached or perhaps maybe two small fixed point and hoot cameras. The construction is rugged and durable. This is the case I will take with me when hiking or at outdoor events where I want to keep carry equipment a a minimum where I can just unzip, grab my camera, and shoot!
Bag was smaller than I expected, but sized perfectly for FZ-200
September 26, 2012
The photos make it look as if you would put a camera sideways in the bag, however that's not the case. You would put your (smaller) DSLR or super-zoom lens-down into the bag.For me that's fine. In fact I prefer that position myself. This bag fits my Panasonic FZ-200 with the hood on and just enough space for the strap if you have it attached. It's a close fit, but it's not too tight.Material is good quality, pocket space is just big enough to fit the battery charger on one side and a spare battery and cards on the other. Or you could leave the charger out and fit a couple filters or *maybe* a small flash.The neckstrap is thin and a bit short.Overall it's worth the money if you're looking for a decent case to protect your camera from average bumps, or to protect it in a bookbag/suitcase. If you've got more to carry, such as tele-extenders, flashes, etc. I'd look for something bigger.

Cheaply constructed camera in a nice system
February 20, 2015
I bought this camera because it was $240 and who can pass up this kind of camera for $240? It will work as a second camera to my XT-1, enabling me to use two lenses at once (especially important because I use primes). I haven't used it much yet but I have a couple observations right off the bat: 1) The construction looks incredibly cheap. Like, this is not a camera you would want to drop onto a hard floor. 2) The body design is rather thick, so it doesn't work as a mini-camera as well as some of the alternatives out there from other manufacturers.
Nice entry level mirror-less with excellent image quality. Focus speed still not up to par especially under low light
January 21, 2015
Excellent image quality but low light focus is still far from DSLR level. LCD washes out under bright lights. I was wishing that this can replace my Canon 60D as our main travel camera but not even close :-(

Great bag, just not for larger bridge type cameras
May 25, 2017
This case is the one Amazon recommends for the Lumix DC-FZ80 camera so I bought one for my new camera. The camera fits, but just barely. I like to carry a couple of extra batteries but even that was an issue with this bag. The outside pockets do not expand outward, so the camera and the batteries fight for the same interior space, even though separated by a fabric barrier. I tried it for a couple of weeks but finally realized the bag was not going to work for me so I returned it. I hesitated to only give the product three stars because it is well made. But for this application (holding a larger bridge type camera), it's not the best choice.For those with the DC-FZ80 or the FZ70, you may want to look at the Lowepro Adventura SH 120 II - A Protective and Compact DSLR Shoulder Bag. It's slightly larger than the Case Logic product, but much more roomy. It gives me the choice of loading the camera lens side down or with the handgrip side up (my preference).
Good for beginner/only one camera
October 17, 2016
From the pictures I expected this to fit more. It only fits the body of my Nikon D5200 with a basic lense attached. It's good for a beginner but once you start collecting lenses and flashes, you WILL need to get a new bag.
DCB-304 Hybrid case overall decent
July 22, 2016
Case logic dcb-304, i would say is a case that is primarily meant for compact point and shoot cameras. The case is smaller than it looks in pictures, which can be a positive or negative feature depending on your needs. For me i needed a minimalist case, so small was a feature that was necessary but this might have been just i little bit too small. I bought this for a Oly micro 4/3 camera which is about the same size as a sony eos-m, nex, (practically a compact in size). However, the case is quite small to fit extra accessories such as charger+cord. The side pockets with mesh nets are almost useless in my opinion. the sides are not sewed/designed to flare out when items are placed inside. When items are placed in side-pockets, it pushes inward toward the camera side walls, leaving you less space for the main compartment and pushing sidewalls towards your camera. side-pockets will barely fit a 3ft folded usb cord if your camera and other accessories are full in the main compartment. I would see that the pockets are good for small singular items such as extra camera batteries.As for the inside top-zipper pocket, i found its only use is for extra flash storage cards. I like that the main compartment has an elastic divider pocket inside towards the front; i just wished it was a divider that was attached left to right side walls to make it bigger and not just a pocket sewed on to the front inside wall.overall i was able to fit my micro4/3 camera with 9mm lens attached, 1- 42mm lens w/ 37mm filter threads, 1 - 3.3 in lengthwise tele lens w/ 58mm threads, and battery charger + cord. Its a tight fit and a little bit of a game of tetris, but it works for me since its compact. In real life situations my camera would be out ready for use while this holds my two lenses ready to interchange.I give it 3-3.5 stars because it works for my camera but it was probably not designed to be used for mirrors-less cameras. But it does work for a minimalist, so i would say it fits under it's name as a compact/hybrid case. maybe just a few mm bigger and some design improvements it would be a 4-5 star case. But for the price you can't beat this cases value
Great case, bum zippers.
June 29, 2016
I like this case it is the perfect size for my LUMIX GX1 and peripherals. And the price is great. I usually like Case Logic bags, having had several. But why three stars? Because I have pulled those pretty little tags off the zippers twice now. They don't break, they just come through the space in the slider. It's not hard to put them back on, good as new, but nothing prevents them from coming off again. I buy a camera case to be tough and reliable. This one is disappointing. Maybe I can fix it with CA glue? I'd rather have a case that doesn't need pampering.
Nikon Coolpix P900 doesn't fit well in this case.
March 24, 2016
This case is probably OK, but mine was purchased as a component in a bundle associated with the Nikon Coolpix P900. The P900 is a bit too large to fit comfortably in this case. If the case maintained the same design, but added a half inch to length, width, and depth it would fit the P900 very well, even with shoulder strap and a lens hood attached.
Did not work for my SX40HS
July 8, 2012
I wanted to like this case. It is very well made and it just barely fits my Canon SX40HS. I think it does a good job protecting the camera. I guess I assumed that a really snug fit would be what I wanted in a case. For me the fit turned out to be a little too snug.I don't want to sound like Mr. Fussy here but I use a case to protect the camera when I am carrying it. And the only reason I carry my camera is to use it. When I am ready to use the camera I want to get it out of the case relatively quickly. When I am done, I want to put it away just as quickly. I did not really succeed at either. I tried positioning the camera in the case several different ways (can't imagine too many choices there). I had to wrestle the camera in and out of the case no matter how I did it. Twice, while attempting to put the camera away, I accidentally turned the camera on in the case - the lens attempted to extend and made a horrible clicking sound because it was snug in the case. All I could think about was the dreaded Canon "Lens Error" that I have already experienced with several of my beloved Canon point and shoots. Luckily, that did not seem to be enough to cause death by "Lens Error". On several occasions I removed the camera from the case only to have the lens cap pop off. One time I went to remove the lens cap only to put my thumb squarely on the lens.The case became enough of a hassle that I started looking for excuses not to carry the camera. That is just plain nuts so I am going to get a larger case.Now my experience may speak more to my clumsiness and ineptitude than anything else but if any of this resonates with you I would strongly suggest getting a bigger case.

Histogram not useful in manual exposure mode
September 2, 2014
The low noise is impressive but there is a design flaw that Fujifilm needs to fix. In manual exposure mode the histogram shows what the histogram would be in auto exposure mode and it does not change with the manual settings. I give it two stars hoping that it is noticed by Fujifilm and they issue a firmware update. I also wish they would save the RAW images when using ISO bracketing.

December 9, 2016
The camera case is nicely made and was suggested on Amazon as a good companion purchase with the Fujifilm FindPics camera I purchased. The problem with the case is it is too small for the camera. You can force the camera into the case but it is a very tight fit.
Made well, but only big enough for casual camera
October 23, 2016
Very disappointed with this case. Its made great don't get me wrong! But definitely not big enough at all for my Pentax k50 with the kit lens like the reviews/answered questions say. This is for snap-shot camera ONLY (E.I. any camera that is not made with interchangeable lens and/or for personal use only). If you have a full DSLR with any sort of lens this bag will fit the body ONLY. Or lens ONLY. Will not fit both. Will be sending back immediately for credit towards another case. 2 stars because it really is well made, but did not fit camera at all and lens together which is what I was looking for.
Good quality bag, but REALLY small!
August 19, 2016
The picture actually makes it look bigger than it is. This bag can barely fit my NIKON D3300 (which is a small dslr)I'm not sure why this one looks huge and is at the top of the list when you search dslr bag. cannot fit a bigger dslr. Cannot put any more lenses except kit lens. Not happy with this.

July 4, 2016
I am sad to say I was disappointed in this item as my camera will not fit in this bag. I have a Pentax K100 with the standard zoom lens and after inserting the camera in the case it can not be closed. I even took the lens off the camera and inserted it into the pouch and I had the same problem.The only saving grace is that I bought this used. I may just carry the camera in this bag and purchase another case for the lens.Luckily I have a larger case that allows me to carry the camera (intact) Cokin filters and spare batteries.Thanks you.
Camera case too small!
June 22, 2015
This camera bag was listed as "you may also be interested in" when I purchased a DSLR. One would expect that the camera bag would be well suited for use with the camera. NOT SO! The camera is a very tight fit with the smaller of the two lenses. I would have expected that the camera body and both lenses fit into this camera case. Be sure to check all of the specifications before making your purchase! I will have to purchase an other camera case that is large enough to hold both of the lenses and camera body.

I would not or cannot recommend this Fujifilm X-A1 camera, the lens are much too larger for the camera, does not have a view finder and when the lens are attached you can't see the screen. Would never buy it, I return to Amazon with no problem.

Too Small for Panasonic Lumix FX70
June 4, 2017
While the product does appear to be of above average quality, if you buy this with the Panasonic Lumix FZ70, you will not be able to use it, because your camera will not fit. Putting your FZ70 in this bag is like putting rubber gloves on wet hands, and just as bad taking it out. Not to mention, there is absolutely no room for the accessories. Case Logic is and OK brand, but this is being returned because it is of no use for my camera. This 1-star rating is due to the false marketing claim that the case is for the Panasonic Lumix FZ70.
NOT for the Nikon P900
October 27, 2016
This was recommended for the Nikon Coolpix P900, so I bought it with the camera. The case is cheap, and the build quality shows it. Worse, it doesn't quite fit the Nikon P900. Maybe for some smaller cameras it would be ok, but for the P900 it's too small. The cheap plastic zipper pulls apart from the stress when you try to close it. The case just isn't big enough for the camera. Yes, the little zipper pockets on the side will hold extra SD cards and maybe a spare battery, but the case is literally coming apart at the seams when you try to close it with the P900 inside it. The people who recommended this bag for the P900 have clearly never tryied to actually fit the camera into one. Bad purchase.

April 8, 2016
terrible bag for anybody who is serious about protecting their gear. The walls are so thin that it would not protect it from one drop. It provides minimal cushion, but I guess is nice to protect from scratches and can hold small accessories. Nothing more than a battery, charger, extra memory card, etc. Can barely hold Canon EOS M w/ Zoom 18-55mm and 1 22mm prime comfortably. Some have said that it was thicker—but whatever I got was terrible protection for a $400+ camera. Worth it to pay a little more. B&H has much better deals & selection—but most importantly, quality.
BEWARE -- NOT FOR DSLR
March 31, 2016
This was a recommended product by Amazon while purchasing a Nikon DSLR. DO NOT BUY FOR A DSLR. This camera bag is reserved for smaller cameras (compact), so if you think "Hybrid" might be referring to the entry-level DSLR you just bought, you'd be wrong. Just an FYI for any new / novice buyer of a DSLR.This review is more of a call to Amazon to change their product recommendation.
Something has changed......
September 22, 2015
Back to Amazon this goes. This is the second case I've bought this year. The first one was great and I like it alot.However, the DCB-304 I just recently received isn't near the same quality as the previous one. I knew it was different the second I took it out of the box.It's smaller, lighter and flimsy. It looks the same buts it's not. Either Case Logic has cheaped-out or it's a counterfeit.
Horrible.
September 13, 2015
This case is awful. The zipper broke after one day of very minimal use. It would have been a nice case too, too bad the zipper was so cheaply made.
